Hi all, I realised that on post # 9 I did not mention that the engine numbers in Australia are suffixed with thr letter F for forign , right hand drive here in Aus.

The 81 in the cab number indicates a closed cab. From one of my Ford books lists the folloing.

78 Sedan delivery 112 wheel base.
80 platform (whatever they mean by this.) 122 w / b and 134 w / b regular truck and 101 and 134 w/ / b cab over engine trucks.
81 closed cab,
82 panel delivery 112 w / b
83 pickup 112 w / b.

Ford also used body numbers to indicate the body styles on cars , they ranged from 67 A De lux coupe with auxilary seats. All the way to 79 station waggon 118 w / b.
The number for a body part number went like this,,
11T 81 then the base number ie. 03100 .
11T means 1941 truck with 221 ci. engine.
19T means 1941 truck with 239 ci. engine
81 means closed truck cab.
03100 is the base number for the windscrean and was esed will into the 1980's and may still be used.
